Baby Jetlag Stinks

We are all up and running pretty easily except for the girls. Faith is doing better than Miss Grumpy Pants though. Shelby is the one having the hardest time adjusting back to Georgia time. On Sunday morning Shelby woke up at 4AM and would not go back to sleep. Faith woke up around 4:30AM. So we were up and running. I woke the boys up at 7:30AM and CJ woke up around that same time. We were off to Waffle House and then to church.

The problem then came around lunch time when both girls did not want to wake up from their naps. Shelby was miserable and would not stay awake. I took her and Faith to her friends house to play to just try and get her awake. Then we went to the grocery store where Shelby looked like she was drunk sitting up in the racecar cart. She just could not stay awake any longer and was OUT at 6PM!

So that brings us to now...12AM...AWAKE :( Faith is awake too and Shelby has now managed to wake up Travis too. It is going to be a really long night and day I can tell. Hoping to get back to sleep soon after maybe a snack and maybe with some pharmeceutical help ;)

Here is a little clip of my angel baby doing a little dance to a Christmas song at Waffle house yesterday. Too Cute!

Amazing! I can't believe my eyes; how wonderful is that! The dancing, and the clapping with joy. Adorable. Congrats on the award and perks!

12:14 am here (gotta go to sleep ... you're probably up? Yikes). Just finished making Willow a teddy. Also, I got a picture tonight from another Wuchuan parent (in Minnesota); the one who contacted you. Anyway, we "think" willow is sitting next to him (hard to tell, for sure, that it is her ... side view, but the fingers, neck, ears, and eyebrows look the same).

Donna: HELLO!! How many days did you think it would take??? It took us about 9 or 10 days to normalize. Same amount of days for the same amount of time zones, remember? Looking forward to that too. Call me! (Not at midnight, of course) Can't wait to see you guys. And NO, I can't wait until after Christmas!
